2012年奥运火炬传递只在英国国内进行

Olympic organizers have unveiled the torch relay route for next year's Games. The torch will travel the length of Britain during its 70-day relay.
伦敦奥组委宣布2012年伦敦奥运会火炬传递具体线路分布。火炬传递将在英国国内进行，持续70天。

8,000 torchbearers will carry the flame after it arrives from Greece in exactly a year's time on May 18th, 2012. Land's End will be the starting point of the nearly 13-thousand-kilometer journey.
8000名火炬手将在整整一年后——2012年5月18日接过从希腊点燃的圣火。兰滋角将成为这个接近1.3万公里传递旅程的出发点。

90 percent of the torchbearers will be members of the public, nominated by friends and associates in recognition of their contributions to society.
90%的火炬手将是公众成员，由朋友和同伴提名，赞扬他们对社会所做的贡献。

Chairman of London Olympic Organizing Committee Sebastian Coe said, "May 19th, a year today, the torch will start its journey, its 70 day journey from Lands End (extreme westerly point of Britain), we want it to touch 95 percent of the population of this country, and we made that commitment very early on, but we also want it to celebrate the extraordinary personal stories of people in extraordinary communities, so we are also asking - unusually - people to nominate, we want this to be a public nomination process, but to nominate people who have really done something, just to change the lives, particularly of young people."
伦敦奥组委主席塞巴斯蒂安．柯伊称：“一年后的今天——5月19日，火炬将开始传递，这个70天的传递之旅将从兰滋角开始（英国最西部）。我们希望火炬能够影响国家95%的人口，而且我们很早就做出这个承诺。但我们也希望火炬能赞赏杰出团体中有“光辉事迹”的个人，所以我们也经常要求人们推荐。我们希望这是一个公开的提名程序，不过要推荐一些有杰出贡献的人，改变他们的生活，尤其是年轻人。”
